HOW TO SUCCEED

AT AIRLINE SELECTIONS

IN THE USA IN 2026?

Hosted by Hilary Patterson, US airline recruiter and commercial pilot with 25+ years in the industry and thousands of pilot interviews conducted across 121 and 135 operations, alongside Guillaume Debauchez (former BA pilot, Emirates Captain and Major Airline Recruiter). Together, we break down exactly what US carriers are looking for in 2026: why strong pilots still get rejected, the mistakes that close the door before you even walk in, and the three things that separate the pilots who get selected from the ones who don't.

YOUR INSTRUCTORS

I HAVE SPENT 25 YEARS IN US AVIATION — AND CONDUCTED THOUSANDS OF PILOT INTERVIEWS.

"I started in US aviation as a commercial pilot, flew as a CFII and Part 135 Captain, and served in the United States Air Force.

Then I moved to the other side of the table. For the last 15+ years, I've worked in pilot recruitment and airline HR, conducting thousands of interviews across 121 and 135 operations.

I've seen exactly why strong US pilots get rejected, and what a small number of them do differently to get selected on the first attempt.

Now I help pilots preparing for US airline selections navigate the exact process I used to run, from the resume screen all the way through to the sim assessment."

I WENT FROM GETTING REJECTED —TO EMIRATES CAPTAIN AND RECRUITER.

"I know how tough the airline selection process is. I’ve spent nearly two decades in the airline industry, on both sides of the interview table.

Years ago, I failed my first airline assessment with Air France… because I didn’t understand the key aspects of getting selected: how to think, signal, and communicate what the recruiter was really looking for.

That’s exactly why I created Advanced Interview Course — to share the mindset, tools, and recruiter-backed insights I’ve used to assess hundreds of candidates for Emirates, and helped thousands since, land jobs with some of the best airlines in the world."

ON THE AGENDA FOR THIS MASTERCLASS:

The real state of the 2026 US airline market - where the opportunities actually are right now, and why preparing while it's quiet is what separates the pilots who get hired from the ones who never do.

The 4 mistakes that quietly sink even strong pilots in the interview room, from leading with your weaknesses to answering the question you wish you'd been asked instead of the one in front of you.

The 3 things that actually get you selected by US airlines: sharp interview technique,

a bulletproof experience sheet, and the communication that makes recruiters decide in your favour in the first 90 seconds.
